Chamber Music at Holkham

Programme: Haydn: String Quartet in E flat Op.50 No.3, Janáček: String Quartet No.2 ‘Intimate Letters’, Beethoven: String Quartet in C sharp minor Op.131
Having impressed the jury with their rare sensitivity and subtle interpretations, the Arcadia Quartet was awarded First Prize at the prestigious Wigmore Hall London International String Quartet Competition in 2012. The quartet was formed in 2005 while students at the Gheorghe Dima Music Academy in Romania. Since their competition triumph, the quartet’s career has been burgeoning in Europe and further afield. Their programme comprises three of the greatest string quartets in the repertoire. The Arcadia’s recording of Janáček’s quartets, released late last year, was described by Andrew Clark in the Financial Times as “piercing the heart of this unsettling music: not for the faint-hearted”.
